Your logic is crap just so you know. Like literally crap, I don’t follow your logic at all.

You sir are a butttrumpet. If you read Harry Potter carefully you will see that Harry is actually quite smart. So shut your freakin’ pie hole.

You’re right! Riordan wrote the first book the same times Rowling is writing hers. The Lightning Thief got in a slush pile before being picked up, it took a really long process before the novel can be published.

Are you stupid? He didn’t steal anything, he USED the myths as the basic structure of his stories. Greek Myth is in public domain so he can use everything. Should JK Rowling be sued too because he used centaurs that are in Greek Myth? No, that’s the main point of PJO, it’s all about the myths, reshaping the myths to fit to the mortal world. Stupid ass.

1.Percy is 12!!! as he finds out who he is
2.the three headed dog?? it is greek mythologie, there ARE such things.
3. Half-Blood?? this designation is older than j.k. rowling so he is aloud to use it.

They are similar in some ways as alot of other books are. But they have many differences. In a comment below me some, he said that some characters are the same bit ripped off like this;
Luke/Riddle (WTF Tom was never friends with Harry in the beginning. Besides Luke killed himself to save everyone including Percy, Tom would never do they same heroic act)

Clarisse/Draco (ok I would be ten times more afraid of Clarisse than Draco because they are so different!! You have Clarisse, a tough daughter of Ares who can whip someones ass whenever she wants! When you have it with Draco, he is more of a school bully, not really whipping peoples asses! And Clarisse becomes friends with Percy eventually but Draco never does.

Annabeth/Hermione similar in a lot of ways but my question is, WHERE IN THE BOOKS DID IT SAY THAT ANNABETH FELL IN LOVE WITH GROVER?? Oh wait no she didn’t. Hermione, in my perspective is more work, work, work whereas Annabeth is more funny and lovable not all work work work.

Harry/Percy why did he even go here?? Does Percy have a lightning scar?? Does Harry have a pen that can turn into a sword?? Does Percy have a wand?? Does Harry have a half brother that happens to be a cyclops??

Grover/Ron no no no not a rip off. All Hero’s need sidekicks. And Grover is a thing of mythology, Ron is just a Ginger. Grover didn’t fall in love with annabeth, he fell in love with Juniper. Grover is cooler, in my opinion.

Harry¨Potter almost always in Hogwarts, (exept the last book), Percy Jackson is mostly in the “real world”, on a queeste, he’s only in Camp Halfblood some weeks in a whole year…
There are A LOT of books that compare much more to Harry Potter than Percy Jackson!

Sorry to say this, guys, ’cause I love both of them, but you Potterheads are wrong.

1 That’s stupid. You can’t compare age! You actually think Rick stole AGE from HP? Ha-ha.

2 Not really. It’s mainly Percy and Annabeth. Tyson, Grover, Nico … Those are main characters too.

3 Big deal. It’s taken from greek mythology. All of it. It’s just random it’s the 4′th book.

4 May I ask who? Oh, no one -.-

5 Again: And where do you think it is from? You think JKR made up all that stuff? No, it’s OLD! It’s GREEK AND ROMAN!

6 What fanasy book does not?

7 Yeah, you are absolutely right. But if you read both series, you’ll see a HUGE different between how important that is and stuff. It’s another way. Kronos is taking a person who is Percy’s friend. Only him. Voldemort uses many unimportant figures.

8 And again: Half-blood or demigod are old words. They don’t belong to Harry Potter.

9 Yes. I finds that the main similarity. But again, if you reads all of it, yuo’ll find CHB WAY different from Hogwarts.

10 What? You expect everyone to go along with everybody?

However, Harry Potter is by far better than that piece of shit… you can take one reason that overpowers all… the view. Harry Potter is third-person, which is the best. And first-person writer shall know that you (‘I’ in the novel) are not a psychic. Suddenly coming up with I saw Annabeth was thinking about me. <– example. How do you know Annabeth is thinking about you?

To the person who commented a while earlier, Meagan: you’ve made a lot of errors in your ‘review’.
2.) Harry’s bedroom is a broom cupboard, Percy’s is Gabe’s office
Let me just say, Gabe’s ‘office’ was originally Percy’s room before he was sent again.4.) Both hint about snakes
Where, exactly? Snakes have no purpose in Percy Jackson, other than to be killed.5.) Both mothers have long red hair and special eyes
- Percy’s mother does not have red hair. She has brown hair. I don’t know where you got this from. And as for the ‘special eyes’ part? The only thing about her eyes that are special is that she can see through the mist.6.) Both get looks mostly from their fathers (such as GREEN EYES AND JET BLACK HAIR!?!)
- Percy’s looks are completely his father’s, whereas Harry does not get his father’s eyes. James’ eyes are hazel. Not green. Those are Lily’s.

I think Percy Jackson is an excellent read, especially how it’s in Percy’s point of view. It makes it more fun, unlike with Harry Potter which is written in a more posh way. But I guess that’s because it’s British.

Get your facts straight. I’m not hating on you or anything. But I’m sick and tired of people comparing every single book that comes out to Harry Potter.
